What are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your computer or mobile device when you visit them. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, as well as to provide information to the owners of the site. Think of them as a digital memory, allowing a website to remember your actions or preferences over a period of time.
These files are stored by your web browser and contain data such as your login information, language preferences, and browsing history. When you return to a website, your browser sends the cookie back to the server, enabling the website to recognize you and tailor its content to your specific needs and interests.
Cookies are not programs and cannot execute code. They are simply data files that store information. They are generally classified into several types based on their function and lifespan:
-
Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that are stored in your browser’s memory and are automatically deleted when you close your browser. They are typically used to track your activity on a website during a single browsing session, such as remembering items you have added to a shopping cart.
-
Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your computer or device for a specified period of time, even after you close your browser. They are used to remember your preferences or settings for future visits, such as your language selection or login credentials.
-
First-Party Cookies: These cookies are set by the website you are visiting. They are used to improve your experience on that specific website, such as remembering your preferences or tracking your activity within the site.
-
Third-Party Cookies: These cookies are set by a domain other than the website you are visiting. They are often used for tracking purposes, such as displaying targeted advertising based on your browsing history across multiple websites.
